External Rendering in Lewes, East Sussex

Have you ever walked past your house and noticed a section of the wall looks slightly 'puffy' or sounds hollow when you give it a tap? That is what we call blown render. It happens when water gets behind the surface, freezes, and eventually pushes the render away from the brickwork (the substrate). Once that seal is broken, you are on a fast track to penetrating damp. Many homeowners in Lewes find that traditional sand and cement render eventually cracks under the pressure of the changing seasons. We're here to help you fix those issues before they turn into a major structural headache, using modern materials that are designed to flex and breathe with your property.

Most people we talk to are fed up with the endless cycle of painting their house every few years. That is why through-colour renders, like monocouche and silicone systems, have become so popular. Because the pigment is mixed right into the material, you never have to pick up a paintbrush again. Silicone render is particularly clever because it is highly water-repellent and 'self-cleaning' to an extent, as dirt just washes away with the rain. We also offer monocouche rendering, which provides a lovely crisp, scraped finish that looks fantastic on both contemporary homes and period renovations. As approved PRB Systems contractors, we have the specialist training to apply these advanced products exactly as the manufacturer intended.

If your house feels a bit draughty or you're constantly turning up the thermostat during the winter, your walls might be to blame. This is especially true for older properties in Lewes that don't have cavity walls. External Wall Insulation (EWI) is a bit of a game-changer here. We fix high-quality insulation boards to the outside of your house before applying a decorative render finish on top. It is like wrapping your home in a warm blanket. Not only does it massively improve your 'U-values' and lower your energy bills, but it also completely refreshes the outside of your property without you losing any precious floor space on the inside.
